I'm just doing some Z procrastinating while I should be working.. but I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this auto 240z?: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133727916305
It's either an original French car, or a US import into France. But it has some FIA stuff with it and an old photo which shows its had this white & black paint job for a while at least. You wouldn't naturally think of an auto as a racer, but there you go. The black painted engine bay is off-putting though. Maybe it is a US import from a while ago?
This is the second ad I've seen for it too - first one used different photos, and had no mention of the racing history. I presume the old ad used photos from when it was in France - as the car appears on this shonky looking Youtube channel:
- and you can see the old ebay ad on her laptop.
There's also this appalling video of it driving -
.
In the comments they say those are just clips of a proper "episode" on the car, but I can't find it anywhere online. God knows how cringeworthy it would be!
*EDIT* - found it:
The expert in his tracky bottoms said the black bonnet was an option for the French market? He also said it had paint 10 years ago though. And apparently the car was owned by a French film company. Interesting.
But just wondering if the car is known to anyone here? Maybe @SeanDezart as its a French car?
If the body is solid and the car could be bought for a little less, it wouldn't be bad value as a bad candidate for a manual swap.
